Book Week in the Prep Classroom

Our Book Week Parade was back this year (Hooray!). This was the highlight for the Prep students last week. It was a great chance for our school community to get together and have fun.

All students were invited to dress up as a character from a book or the theme “Dreaming with eyes open” and the whole school and parents/carers were able to see them at the Parade last Friday morning.  Afterwards, the Prep class completed some literacy activities about this years Book Week theme. 

Book Week is an annual event organised by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) to celebrate Australian books, authors and illustrators.

We have also been working on our speaking and listening in the classroom this term which is part of the Victorian Curriculum. We have been focusing on our eye contact when speaking to others, speaking clearly, our body language and using the appropriate voice level when we are talking.

The Prep were able to practise all these things while they participated in a short video about Book Week. Please turn the volume up as the sound is quite poor. The Preps that were at school on Friday for Book Week enjoyed making the video and I am very proud of each of them for the way they spoke. We have some budding TV stars in the making!!
